It’s Maximum hot.

As nice as the gigs are at the moment, they will go bananas from the end of this month, right into October. So, I’m having a couple of days off a week beforehand. Which is lovely.

I’ve booked some gigs in the UK for later in the year. Watch this space..!

In the meantime, it’s a great time to just simply enjoy being in the Algarve.

See you at a gig soon…

It’s hot!! The A/C machine is magic.

The gigs are great. The football World Cup is in full swing, and as of right now, England & Portugal are still in it!!

Steps and Jack’s are both going great. I’m also doing the odd Sunday afternoon in Restaurante O Lavrador. It’s a lovely restaurant about 10 minutes north of Albufeira.

See you at a gig soon…

It’s hot in The Algarve! It’s wonderful, but very hot!!

The gigs are going great.

I’ll be in O Lavrador this Sunday afternoon. My first outside gig for a little while. I’m looking forward to it.

It’s always great and a lovely surprise, when people from my hometown visit my gigs in Portugal.

The last few days have been quite Dover-heavy in Steps. And it’s been brilliant.

May is a very nice time to be in The Algarve. The weather is good and the gigs are great.

Ishy is back! Which is brilliant news.

My day off is changing from this week. I’ll be in Steps every night from 10, except TUESDAY, and Jack’s on Wednesdays & Fridays from 3.

See you soon…

Martin.

The season in Albufeira has well & truly started. The sun is shining and the gigs are great.

There’s talk of a new Sunday afternoon gig where you’ll need your swimming costume! Watch this space…

Jack’s is going well. Really nice, chilled out afternoons overlooking the marina.

And of course, Steps Bar. My spiritual home! There’s always a party going on. Ishy will be joining us soon…

Tonight, I’m starting my gigs in Steps Bar – 2 weekends, and then full on from the beginning of April. I can’t wait to get started.

It’s going to be a busy year. I’ll be in Steps everynight except Wednesday, Jack’s on Wednesday & Friday afternoons, and The Padel Club on Sundays.

Albufeira 2026. Let’s do it..!

This photo is an old one of me & Max on Galé beach. We miss him.

We had a brilliant new year in Albufeira. NYE in particular, was tremendous. Thank you to everyone who came along to Steps. I bet the new year started with a few hangovers!

The gigs in Steps will start again in March. In the meantime, I’m going to enjoy being at home, with the fire on.

Jack’s carries on through the winter. I love playing there. It’s an afternoon gig, chilled out & laid back.

The Padel Club on Sunday afternoon is weather permitting, because it’s an outside gig. We’ve been unlucky the last couple of weeks. Soon, it will just be blue skies.

Updates & gig news are always on my FB and Instagram pages, along with a few photos of my dogs!

Happy New Year everyone.

See you at a gig soon…

Martin.

It’s been a great year. Thank you to everyone who has supported me. From coming to gigs, watching my ‘LIVE’ videos to streaming my music. I’ve even had my own chapter in a book!

It’s Xmas time now. Chilly evenings with the fire on at home and too much food with family and friends.

I’m looking forward to my gigs this week. Albufeira is busy for new year. Lots of summer faces, but in winter clothes!

I wish everyone a very happy new year…
